He's just an edgelord, ignore. The point is to get people riled up and spread the misery.

I'm retiring early and fill my days by exploring 20th century film, music and literature, using LLMs to critically examine them throughout the journey. Basically a free hobby with near limitless source material.

Because it's pointless and a waste of time.

Retiring, maybe writing a novel

Where on the US ballot was there an option to vote for tariffs?

If I recall correctly, we vote for presidents, senators and the congress who have policy stances on a variety of issues. There are usually only two options, one of which stands for open borders, not enforcing laws, socialism and demonizing people who choose the other option on the ballot.

A large cohort of independents didn't vote for republicans, they voted AGAINST democrats.

I believe there is upcoming legislation along those lines and that the adjustments announced today are those within the executive branches purview.

Yes, and the working hypothesis as to why they have been here in the last century, with sightings mainly in the southwest US, is because they were checking in on our nuclear arms development.

Check out Melbay's catalog of books: https://www.melbay.com/Products/CategoryCenter/F36/Guitar%20...

A lot of the books come with digital downloads of PDFs of the sheet music / tabs along with the author performing the pieces on MP3s.

Get set up with a footstool, and position yourself in front of a computer screen with the PDFs open to practice.

Muting the TV during ads helps.

Democracy is a beautiful thing. It's unfortunate people aren't as enlightened as you. Maybe if Dems had some self awareness and proposed policies that actually worked for people rather than demonize the electorate for sitting out or ticking the other box they wouldn't be in this situation.

From Wikipedia:

The Santa Ana winds and the accompanying raging wildfires have been a part of the ecosystem of the Los Angeles Basin for over 5,000 years, dating back to the earliest habitation of the region by the Tongva and Tataviam peoples.

Honest question in good faith: For those that use the reductionist argument of global warming / climate change for every natural disaster, what do they expect to happen if we hypothetically cut all greenhouse gas production to zero? Some kind of climate stasis Garden of Eden scenario?

Nice leftist spin!

Eventually you realize that a lot of these tech companies are simply "the blind leading the blind."

Boycott all these assholes and their shitty products.

It's not your lack of public presence, it's the state of the labor market.

Yes, the Bay Area used to be a place where innovative young people could thrive.

The upcoming generation already have it much harder, with 5 rounds of leetcode interviews, high saturation of devs, offshoring and AI all working against them.

I would expect anyone doing this from 2010 to at least have decent savings and solid experience at known companies. If not, its definitely over for them.

Yes, the party is over. Expect to see startups who haven't raised money in 2+ years to completely shut down.

Stuck in a failing business unit surrounded by people with glaring skills gaps. It's torture, but at least I am on payroll.

I'm fully employed as a staff engineer at a midcap company and applied to a handful of job posts on LinkedIn last month just to test the waters. No replies from anyone.

Is it legal for US companies to layoff a US citizen before a visa holder if they serve an equivalent function and have equivalent qualifications?

Personal Capital which is now part of Empower. Use it every day and it has been an indespensible tool for driving my net worth chart up and to the right.

Not important at all, simply because life on earth is and always has been a cruel competition for survival and the successful transmission of genes. There have been numerous extinction events along the way. Even if humanity were to acheive some kind of environmental homeostasis, eventually forces at the solar system level would drive the earth back into an ice age and mass extinction.

The big risk now are startups who raised money in 2021 and are coming due for another round.

If you have to ask, it's not going to work out for you. The market is saturated with unemployed tech workers. Unless you have exceptional skills at rock bottom prices, there will be nothing anyone will pay you to do. Harsh reality of the current economic situation.

It's valued at 3bn in the public markets. You make it sound like they just announced bankruptcy.

You should know better than to criticize "progressive" policies online.

Curious, were shitcoins ever a part of crypto startup compensation packages, like startup options have been?
